WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!! THAT ONE MAN COULD FULFILL SO MANY ANCIENT BIBLE PROPHECIES!!!

Jesus said, “Search the Scriptures, for they testify of Me.”

The ancient Holy Scriptures, sometimes called the Tanakh or “Old Testament,” from which the following prophecies are taken, were written 400 to 1,400 years before Jesus Christ was born.

So, these following prophecies of the Messiah (Christ) from the ancient Hebrew Scriptures were being copied, read, and distributed to synagogues around the world hundreds of years before Jesus was even born!

What prophetic details DID God carefully weave into the ancient Holy Scriptures concerning the coming Messiah (Jesus Christ)?

He would be born in Bethlehem . . .
(AFTER leaving His place in Eternity)

“But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
though you are little
among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you
shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth
have been from of old, (eternal)
from EVERLASTING.”
(“Everlasting to everlasting” is a title of God)
(Micah 5:2)

He would be born of a virgin

“Behold,
the virgin shall conceive
and bear a Son,
and shall call His name Immanuel”
(Immanuel literally means “God with us”)
(Isaiah 7:14)

He would ride triumphantly into Jerusalem, yet meek and lowly … riding on a donkey

“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion (Israel)!
Behold, your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
yet He is lowly
and riding on a donkey.”
(Zechariah 9:9)

He would be betrayed by a friend

“Even my own familiar friend
in whom I trusted,
who ate My bread,
has lifted up his heel against Me.”
(Psalm 41:9)

They would set a price on Him of 30 pieces of silver …
which would then be thrown into the potter’s field

“So they weighed out for my wages
thirty pieces of silver.
And the LORD said to me,
‘Throw it to the potter’ –
that princely price they set on Me.”
(Zechariah 11:12-13)

He would suffer … and be brutally beaten

“So His appearance
was marred more than any man”
(Isaiah 52:14)

He would be beaten and bloodied … He would die for our sins

“But He was wounded
for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement (punishment)
for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes (whip lashes)
we are healed.
And the LORD has laid on Him
the iniquity (sin) of us all.”
(Isaiah 53:5-7)

He would remain silent during His ordeal

“He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.”
(Isaiah 53:7)

He would be Crucified …
a torturous and agonizing death

“All My bones are out of joint …
My tongue clings to My jaws;
They pierced My hands and My feet,
They look and stare at Me.”
(Psalm 22:14, 15, 16, 17)

He would have stakes (nails) driven through His hands

“And someone will say to Him,
‘What are these wounds in your hands?’
Then He will answer,
‘Those with which I was wounded
in the house of my friends.’”
(Zechariah 13:6)

He would be mocked during His time of suffering and death

“A reproach of men and
despised of the people,
They shoot out the lip,
they shake the head, saying
‘He trusted in the Lord,
let Him rescue Him;’”
(Psalm 22:7-8)

They would cast lots for His clothes

“They divide my garments among them,
and for My garments they cast lots.”
(Psalm 22:18)

He would SUFFER terribly on the Cross

“My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?”
(Psalm 22:1 … Matthew 27:46)

With these words from the Cross, Jesus was pointing the Jewish leaders to Psalm 22 …

The Jewish leaders who were gathered around the Cross knew the Scriptures well. Psalm 22 is a detailed prophecy foretelling the death of Jesus, the Messiah, on the Cross, written a thousand years before the Cross and written centuries before this form of execution was even invented – written when the Jewish form of execution was stoning.

His side would be pierced

“Then they will look upon Me
whom they have pierced;
they will mourn for Him
as one mourns for his only son,
and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.”
(Zechariah 12:10 – a prophecy of His Return)

The Sun would go down at noon
and darken the Earth in broad daylight

“And on that Day,” declares the Lord God,
“I will make the Sun go down at noon
and darken the Earth in broad daylight …
I will make it like the mourning for an only Son
and the end of it like a bitter day.”
(Amos 8:9,10)

He would be buried in a rich man’s grave

“He was buried like a criminal
in a rich man’s grave;” (Joseph of Arimathea)
(Isaiah 53:9)

He was innocent … without sin

“But He had done no wrong,
and He had never spoken an evil word.”
(Isaiah 53:9)

He would be Resurrected
before His body would start to decompose

“For You will not leave
my soul in Sheol (Hell),
NOR will You allow
Your Holy One (Messiah)
to see corruption (decompose).”
(Psalm 16:10)  (The body starts to decompose on the 4th day)

We would despise Him and reject Him …
He would feel the pain of rejection

“He is despised
and rejected by men, (Mankind … men and women)
A Man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief.”
(Isaiah 53:3)

We would turn our backs on Him …
and look the other way as He went by

“And we hid, as it were,
our faces from Him;
He was despised,
and we did not esteem Him.”
(Isaiah 53:3)

He would be rejected by Israel

“The Redeemer of Israel,
their Holy One,
To Him whom man despises,
To Him whom the nation abhors.”
(Isaiah 49:7)

He would be the Son of God

“For unto us a Child is born,
unto us a Son is given,
and His Name will be called Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
(Isaiah 9:6)

He would be a Savior to ALL Mankind …
Thus fulfilling the Abrahamic Covenant

“I will also give You
as a light to the Gentiles,
That You should be My Salvation
to the ends of the Earth.”
(Isaiah 49:6)

He would be The Sacrifice
for ALL of OUR sins (past, present, and future!!!)

“And He bore the sin of many …”
(Isaiah 53:12)

The Cross was part of God’s Plan …
so we might be “saved” from our sins

“Yet it was the Lord’s good plan
to bruise Him; put Him to grief,
make His soul an offering for sin …”
(Isaiah 53:10, KJV paraphrased)

He would then return to His place in Heaven, until …

“I (the LORD) will return again to My place
until they (Israel) acknowledge their offense.
Then they will seek My face;
in their affliction (the Tribulation)
they will diligently seek Me”…
(Hosea 5:15)

For the LORD to return to His place means that He had to have left His place. One requirement that must be met before He can return to Earth is for the people of Israel to “acknowledge their offense.” (Notice that the word offense is singular, not plural, and it is specific.) This means that Israel must acknowledge their rejection of the Messiah and pray, as a nation, for His return. We are told this will be fulfilled at the very end of the Tribulation.

When the Word and prophecies became flesh …

“Now when they had fulfilled
all that was written concerning Him,
they took Him down from the tree
and laid Him in a tomb.
But God raised Him from the dead.
He was seen for many days
by those who came up with Him
from Galilee to Jerusalem,
who are His witnesses to the people.”
(Acts 13:29-31)

Then He (Jesus) said to them,
“These are the words which I spoke to you
while I was still with you,
that all things must be fulfilled
which were written in the Law of Moses
and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”
And He opened their understanding,
that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
Then He said to them,
“Thus it is written,
and thus it was necessary
for the Christ (Messiah) to suffer
and to rise from the dead the third day,
and that repentance and remission of sins
should be preached in His Name
to all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem.”
(Luke 24:44-47)

The Scriptures tell us there are TWO roles Messiah must fulfill:

– First: As the Sacrificial “Lamb of God” who suffered and bore the punishment for all our sins on the Cross, and whose Resurrection opened the way to everlasting life in Heaven.

–  Second: As the “Lion of the tribe of Judah” who will return to save Israel from the armies of the world (Armageddon). He will then fully restore the Earth and rule over all nations … in peace.

The Scriptures also tell us the Messiah will return … TWICE:

– First: “As a thief in the night” FOR all believers
– Second: “Every eye shall see” WITH all believers

Remember …

Followers of Christ, are to be a separate people – a people of honor, strength, and courage. To obey Him, we must take the heart of a servant and be meek, humble, patient, kind, willing to forgive, willing to help and serve others, even our enemies. This requires much strength.  This is strength.  We must pray for His strength.

If there was any other way into Heaven …

Jesus knew what was about to happen when He prayed, “If there is any other way” three times in the garden the night before He was crucified. If there was, or is, any other way to gain entrance into Heaven other than believing in the One who paid our debt, then Jesus suffered and died needlessly and in vain, on the Cross. He lovingly laid down His life for you and for me.

“The Lord is my Shepherd …”
(Psalm 23:1)

And Jesus graciously tells us,

“I am the good Shepherd.
The good shepherd gives his life
for the sheep.”
(John 10:11)

This Bible study eliminates the possibility that ANY other Religion (or any other book) on Earth is from God … the only God who created the Heavens and the Earth … AND … the One who is now preparing a home in Heaven filled with eternal happiness and joy for ALL who will simply place their love, faith, and trust in Him and in His Word to see us (and carry us) through this mess called life on Earth.

This Bible study also eliminates any desire to ever feel ashamed or embarrassed for calling Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND …

ALL THE ANCIENT BIBLE PROPHECIES that still yet remain unfulfilled WILL be fulfilled just as “exactly,” “literally,” “precisely,” and “powerfully” as all these remarkable prophecies (and it should take your breath away!!!) …

“For I am God,  and there is no other.
I am God,  and there is none like Me,
Declaring the End from the Beginning,
and from ancient times
things that are NOT yet done”
(Isaiah 46:9-10)
